Inn Details
Built in 1874 for Galen C. Moses, the house became an instant celebrity in Bath when Jim and Larry purchased it in 1994 to create a bed and b r eakfast. Departing from traditional local house colors, this Italianate structure was draped in the most vivid colors of plum, pink and teal, thus its nickname, 'The Pink House'. There are surprises throughout the house, from the elegant gardens and rooms filled with tasteful antiques to the full theater located on the third floor and once used to entertain officers from the near by Naval Air station during World War II. The house contains a number of spirits. Our ghosts, assuredly friendly, are likely to make their presence felt on a frequent basis. Early evening finds guests relaxing on the porches which surround the house or taking a leisurely stroll along the waterfront. Historic Bath invites the traveler to spend a few relaxing days strolling through the pleasant parks overlooking the Kennebec River of rummaging through the many antique stores on Front Street. Beach lovers will find two sandy state park beaches within a short drive. The nationally acclaimed Maritime Museum, The Chocolate Church or the Art Gallery of Bowdoin College furnish exciting diversions on a rainy afternoon while short drives to Wiscasset, Boothbay Harbor or Freeport (home of L.L. Bean) can satisfy every shopper's appetite.

It was a perfect place to stay after my wedding. Jim and Larry are great people with lots of character. Mildred, the housekeeper was sweet and delightful. The rooms are very clean. They allowed you to do as you needed (i.e. there were not curfews or strict unreasonable house rules). The parking is in the back or on the street and very convenient. The brunch in the morning was delicious, but one was not required to attend. It was indeed outstanding!!
Amazing!

We stayed with Larry and James mid week before labor day and it was fantastic. Our room was spotless and charming, the house was full of antiques but very clean and breakfast was wonderful. Best B&B ever.

I was so impressed with my stay last week. I spent three nights while on business and it was the nicest bed and breakfast that I have stayed in. Larry and Jim are impeccable innkeepers. The room was perfect. The bed was turned down in the evening with fresh water next on the night-stand. Everything was in its place. The inn had been restored to the original home and decor. Every piece was meticulously cleaned, polished and finished. I stayed because I had a business meeting. I will come back with my wife because it is so romantic.
